How To Fix Not Provided Keywords In Google Analytics

How To Fix Not Provided Keywords In Google Analytics: Currently all of the organic keyword search data is encrypted by Google Analytics. I’m going to show you how to get around the Google’s (not provided) nightmare. Fix your keywords in the process shown in this article.

In the past, you could go into your Google Analytics account and see all of the keywords that were driving organic traffic to your website or online business. On May 21, 2010, Google announced an encrypted/secure search. Encrypted search removed the availability of keywords in Google Analytics.

Instead of seeing a keyword like “PUBG Update” with 59 visits – you’d see (not provided) with 200 visits. Those 200 not provided visits include all keywords used in the encrypted search. I know… it is pathetic.

Google took encrypted search a step further on Oct. 18, 2011 by
announcing that it would be securing all searches people made while
signed into their Google accounts.

Encrypted search took its third hit in September 2013 when Search Engine Land reported that Google was moving towards securing all searches. Currently, all keyword data is being stripped/removed and replaced with (not provided).
